Every summer needs a proper kickoff. Ours is June 26. Smoked BBQ pork, hot dogs, veggie burgers, cold Michelobs on us (while they last), Bivy taps running, and a few of ways to compete for prizes that have nothing to do with how hard you climb.

Come hungry. Stay late. Bring a friend who's been meaning to check us out. If you're a Whetstone member, you can bring a friend to the party without using your monthly guest pass. Non-members are welcome as your guest.

What's on the menu?

While supplies last, we'll have smoked BBQ sandwiches, veggie burgers, hot dogs for sale and free Michelob Ultras.

Don't worry, the rest of the Bivy taps, Athletic Brewing N/A beers and sparkling water available all night too.

What's going down

Tickets not required for the event. Everyone gets a raffle ticket at check-in. Anyone that competes in the challenges gets extra tickets and the winners of each will earn prizes with their everlasting glory and fame.
